Mark a file/folder to recover by clicking the box left to the object, or select Mark on the shortcut menu. You may mark several files/folders in different parent folders. You may mark all objects in the folder by selecting Mark All on the Tools or shortcut menu. To unmark an object, click the box left to the object once more or select Unmark on the shortcut menu. You may unmark all objects in the folder by selecting Unmark All on the Tools or shortcut menu.

To reach the Tools menu, click the Restorer Ultimate top left corner and select Advanced.

File content may be previewed before recovery. Go to the Previewing Files topic for details.

If you do not find files that you want to recover:

Sometimes Restorer Ultimate can find the files but not the entire file paths to them. It puts such files into the Extra Found Files folder. Try to search for the files there. If that does not help, try to find them by using file search globally on the entire disk. Go to the Find and Mark Files topic for details

If you still cannot find files that you want to recover but are sure they have existed on the logical disk, you need to use Disk Scan to find them.

If you have another computer connected to Restorer Ultimate over network, the Recover dialog box will be slightly different. See File Recovery on a Remote Computer for details.

Recover disk metafiles

If this check box is selected, Restore Ultimate recovers disk metafiles. Metafiles are the file system's internal files invisible to any user, or file system data, which Restore Ultimate represents as files. These files do not contain user data directly. Unless you want to scrutinize a disk file system, do not restore them.
